The first day of the children's program will start with games and getting to know each other before exploring using software on a global scale. The students will be able to work through Code Club projects exploring space, and NASA's open API with help from Code Club volunteers. The afternoon will be spent completing creative coding projects and exploring open APIs, finishing off with a movie to relax and enjoy.

Tuesday 22nd January

For the second day of the children's program, we will team up with local structural engineers and Quakecraft to look at hardware and engineering in a local earthquake prone context. In the afternoon, students will have the opportunity for a visit to a place linked with their work.

After welcome games and an introduction to the design process, students will be split into the teams in which they will work for the next 3 days.
